>>738918539Something soulless no doubt
>>738918539It took them 7 games over 13 years to add a jump button. Their next game is going to be another dark fantasy games with castles and dragons and some minor mechanic change. Anything else is cope.
they want the skull and bones audience

>>738918539can't wait to fight fifty billion of these things
Guys it's fucking over for FromSoft and I'm not even bait-posting.Oasis Management just increased shares in the Kadokawa Corporation (they own 70% of FromSoft) which means Oasis Management is now the biggest investor voice in how FromSoft moves forward.Oasis Management got some attention in the past for buying shares in Nintendo and immediately asking them to stop making games for Nintendo consoles and instead focus on microtransaction mobile games since it's more profitable. After buying a majority in Kadokawa one of their first demands is to fire the director of Kadokawa, with one of the reasons being that he "failed to fulfill the potential in FromSoft IP's and should be replaced with someone who's more profit-oriented".
Armored Core 7Escaflowne-like game (?)JRPG (?)Elden Ring gacha (?)
>>738919282I just hope we can get one more good singleplayer game before the whole company goes to shit, nightreign and duskbloods already isn't giving me any hope but I so badly want the pirate soulsborne to be realI know it isn't and that hurts :(
>>738919282After Nightslop's release, I already gave up on them. No news could be worse than fortnite ring.
>>738919430Yea I was completely uninterested in Nightreign from the moment it was announced, and was more just confused since I initially thought it was DLC for ER. However I didn't worry too much about the direction once I heard it was a B-team test-project to essentially train a younger director and let them try out some ideas they had floating around, I.E. not necessarily something they plan on expanding on.But Duskbloods is also just completely uninteresting for me.
>>738918705Will it be possible to own your own boat and sail the seas?
>>738918705Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
>>738918705How many longswords is your monitor?
>>738918838And we'll love itThere's not many studios out there that do dark fantasy with castles and dragons and Berserk as well as From
>>738918539sekiro but ur a pirate
>>738918838Having some sort of base upgrading/building progression would be cool, as long as it's not just "collect 50 wood and 100 rocks to do X".Something like Darkest Dungeon where you actually have some progression on your hub could fit well IMO. As long as it doesn't gate progression so that it becomes an obligatory grind.
>>738920576Like what, rescuing a blacksmith and then they move to the hub area? What would you want to build?
>>738920576There would be no point to this unless you own a ship that can do more than travel. if this game has actual ship battles then this sorta stuff makes sense
>>738919949Yes, also ships have their own equip, you can customize it. Naval fights are present but only in the overworld. You can also join other people as white ghost ship to help or as red ghost ship for invasion.>>738920050You can discover it by yourself, if you manage to reach the Seabreak Trench (yes, there are underwater sections and dungeons, but only if you have some specific items or conditions>>738920308Sorry, i have a curved monitor, you should ask how many curved swords is. Curved sword are present in the game obviously, from the classic Falchion to unique weapons like Darkbeard Sabre
>>738918838QINO
>>738918838sign me up
>>738918539i never really enjoyed fromsoft gamesi just forced myself to complete them so i'd earn the right to talk about them because they were popular
>>738918539>an entire game that's just a poisonous swamp/seaSasuga Fromsoft.
>>738921109For example yea, rescue a scout/wagon driver to unlock fast travel like lordvessel, a scrounger that gathers materials for upgrades or crafting if that's in the game, an npc that can unlock armor customization like Boc, letting you remove/add capes/hoods and recolor and so on. Or just something related to an entirely new mechanic. If they bring back covenants you could do something with that, like a hub you can customize a bit before group ganking someone from another covenant or something. Or something related to entirely new mechanics. If there actually is a pirate theme for next game (for which the only proof of is an AI image with no source) then they could have some sort of raid/plunder mechanic where you can invade other players hub and do pvp. There's loads of things you could do with it tb h.
>>738923917That sounds absolutely miserable anon. I hope you find your dream pirate game, but it better not be fromslop's next project.
>>738918539I need a Captain Jack Sparrow cameo
>>738918539Whatever happens, it'll come out at least a year too early and have a retarded non-story with non-characters. 5 bucks there will be 'totally not Hollows' to press R1 at within the first 5 minutes of the game, too, who will respawn in the same place once you sit at some glowing object, which will serve as a checkpoint to MAYBE level up at. Maybe a sea lantern this time, or St. Elmo's fire?
>>738924103Why tho. The main point is for it to not be mandatory for completing the game, and it wouldn't need a lot of additional dev time either. Having a proper PVP system in the end-game and not just camping locations and waiting for someone to pass by would be fun.
>>738920050SpongeBob, who had acquired his house through jihad.
>>738924468PvP ages a game badly. The community for the game will die in a few years, and only the hardcore sweatlords will stay. It'll be hard to find someone to play against, and if you do it won't be fun.We've seen in practice, especially in DS3, that items/spells obtainable through PvP are a bitch to farm offline. What will happen when the player counts drop, and nobody's online anymore for that one specific online interaction that drops the item that you need for covenant?
>>738919282The best thing that can happen at this point is that miyazaki leaves and brings the best people on his team with him and forms a different studio.But the contracts are probably full of clauses that prevent thisEither way it will be the end of from soft
>>738926502>Miyazaki and gang announce: Studio Rebellious Vampires!>super duper cool trailer releases>never hear from them again>15 years later you find out the studio shuttered 3 months inI've seen this exact story play out countless times and it never ends well.
>>738926162No game lasts forever anon, with that mindset you might as well just remove multiplayer from all games in perpetuity. Seems to me your problem with it is more that they gated items (potentially build-enabling ones) behind PvP, which is fair, but they don't need to do that in the future.With that said multiplayer in Fromsoft games have never not been wonky and clunky so it's not exactly a big loss if they do nothing, it's just an obvious "new" mechanic they haven't really ever expanded on since DS1. I imagine they've probably learned a lot about how to develop multiplayer with Nightreign so it would be a shame if they just discarded all that new experience and did nothing with it. My main problem with Nightreign is how arcady it is, I'm not opposed to a new title with more developed multiplayer (as long as it's not mandatory or designed entirely around it).
>>738918539>Naval and underwater combatCan fromsoft pull it off
>>738927246What if they take AC6, slow it down and instead of jumping/flying up you dive down?
>>738927120nta, but yea it so rarely works out. I'm sure there are some examples of it going well, but I can't really come up with anyone off the top off my head.You have the Obsidian/Bethesda thing with Outer Worlds, L4D with that DOA vampire hunter game, I think the old Bungie guys did something which didn't really work out, and that's about it.
>>738927120Those new studios are usually made up of mostly literal who's and maybe 1 or 2 notable figures from the top staff (but not the most notable ones) like with rare and playtonic, playtonic got notable figures, but not the ones that actually knew how to make the games fun like the main level designer didn't come with themMiyazaki leaving with them as well as his top men would be like a Kojima situation which went well at least financially.
Anyone who believes this leak is a genuine fucking retard. Remember the magic focused leak that also came from 4chan?>>738927246No that would require FromSoft to actually put in entirely new gameplay elements. Those people will not.
>>738918705How big are the mechs and can you go in and out of them mid combat?
>>738928221People seem to just believe literally anything these days. I'm sure many replies are just jokes, but you see a lot of news articles report it as a legit rumour as well.You can just make up any rumour now and they always get posted as news articles somewhere, somehow 4chan is blindly trusted now.You'd think with ai people would be less likely to believe random rumours, not more
>>738928271it's not a new Armored Core, there are no mechs
>>738918705Does the game have sexy sirens/mermaids?
>>738928221I think most of the posters are just bored, the only source is a random 4chan post with an AI-image and a beyond stupid claim.
>>738919282>"failed to fulfill the potential in FromSoft IP's and should be replaced with someone who's more profit-oriented".HOW AFTER ELDEN RINGHOW?I'll tell you what, From partnered with Activision and their game was not gay. Word in investor circles is that Fromsoft is a golden goose, give them and they'll produce something that yields x10 returns, just don't bother them, that was 10 years ago. What you are saying is impossible after what happened with Elden Ring.
>>738924326Focus T.
>>738928632All they did was fucking let Activision localize and publish. They self published in Japan. > What you are saying is impossible after what happened with Elden Ring.Sorry you're a retard, they want AAAA GaaS game and a spinoff mobile gacha. Unless you're an absolute soulless slop factory, shitsmear executive FAGGOTS think you've left money on the table.
>>738928526yes, one is also an optional boss
>>738918539>roll combat with boats
>>738928790"AAAA" doesn't exist, Fromsoft is the only AAA game publisher with Capcom IN THE WORLD. AAA means secure investment. Imagine if you could loan $300k to Fromsoft for Dark Souls 9, that's the most secure investment you can make and you would fuck it up by messing with them like a retard?Oh yeah a AAAA GaaS after Concord? After Marathon? After the fact that they already did it with Nightreign? And then you have the temerity to call others retarded?The fact that Bamco is owned by Jews is bad, but they won't mess up with Fromsoft, their Golden Goose, they'll be more subtle than that.
>>738929372>"AAAA" doesn't existTell that to the niggers who've burnt close to a Trillion on this sort of stuff. They have the power. >After the fact that they already did it with Nightreign?Nightreign was very very specifically not GaaS. It was a cheap asset flip with a post release support plan that lasted roughly 6 months and one DLC. It's just a multiplayer roguelike. There's no service.
>>738929494The numbers of "A" doesn't mean the amount of money invested.
>>738929598Yes it does.
>>738918539do you think bamco will still be involved?
>>738929598stop trying to gaslight people
>>738929091kayak combat
>>738929652>>738929728AAA means triple secure investment. Just like in 2008 where mortgages made to new black house owners were marked as AAA and then they unsurprisingly didn't pay and then the economy collapsed (on purpose). You had 18 years to learn this and yet you still didn't. Now you do or do you still want to play retarded?
>>738929954>AAA means triple secure investmentNo it doesn't. It means traditional big budget mainstream release with lots of marketing. AAAA is just their attempt to justify EVEN BIGGER games. Sorry retard: Your kike knowledge doesn't apply here.
>>738929954type of retard to go uhm akschually third world means countries neutral during the cold warthat's not how we use the term now, you probably think dictionaries are prescriptive
>>738930031>>738930140You got told and still choose to be retarded, a warning tale for others.
>>738930747Hahaha fuck off retard.
>>738918539Who cares what the next game with botted player number is lmaoER has been dead for ages, no game with 40k supposed players would require you to wait 10 minutes for an invasion at 150
>>738929372>after Concord? After Marathon?Literally yes. The execs are so out of touch they can thing>but fromsoft sells a million billion copies so it has to be a success no matter what
>>738932518I sure as hell am not going online to be invaded and im sure tons of people are doing the same.Invasions are hugely gay
>>738932518Maybe ER's multiplayer is just dogshit and nobody wants to play it? (It is)
>>738932518Why would you bot a 4 year old game? That makes no sense.
>>738918539Funny. I don’t think of you at all.
>>738932518As tempting as it is to get annoyed by 300+ms niggers spamming curved sword running attacks, I think I will pass on that.
>>738932856>>but fromsoft sells a million billion copies [when we let them do their thing]I get that fucktarded new investors would show up and try their usual number spiel but older investors would stop them, afraid to lose their new boats. Their maximizing profits strategy is not done on Fromsoftware because they are exceeding others by a lot, they really feel it would be a eating your golden goose situation, they would get a slap behind the head and get told to not disturb them while they are cashing free money by being usurious societal parasites.
>>738933578They literally still do this and whoever gets bored first loses
>>738928632You really have no idea how venture capitalists think, do you? When they look at the success of Elden Ring they think "wow we have to capitalize on that publicity by releasing 8 different mobile gacha games to milk the hype". They look at Elden Ring, with a 5 year dev cycle and budget of $200 mill, and they think "hmm, Diablo Immortal cost ~$12 mill to develop and brought in $500 million in the first year. We need to make Elden Ring Immortal instead."And you might think "but they will just ruin the company and kill the golden goose". They don't care. It's an investment for them and all they care about is extracting as much profits as possible over the span of 2-3 years, with quarterly downsizing to cut down on budget costs and outsourcing to indian devs that will work for 1/4th of the price of the original devs, and if they pay $50 million for the majority share acquisition but end up extracting $80 million during the milking process (which doesn't even include the profits they make from liquidating the company and selling off their assets) then that's a good deal for them.They don't care that they "could" earn a $150 mill return in 5 years if you leave them be and let their do their thing, when they can instead extract maximum profits for 2 years and get a guaranteed return. Venture capitalisms main function is to buy up, milk and extract profits, liquidate once the cow is running dry and use their profits to buy up the next company to repeat the process.
>>738934578problem is Japanese companies aren't sell out whores like Americans companies they don't have that oligarch capitalism there, they don't make a guy rich through stocks like fat retarded burgers did.
>>738934893LOL
>>738934893Oasis Management, which just days ago bought a majority share in the Kadokawa Corporation (which owns 70% of Fromsoft), is a Hong Kong based hedgefund. They don't give a shit about what the japanese companies want, they're there to maximize profits in the shortest time possible and that japanese game studio is just an asset they can liquidate to fund another majority share buy in the next company.
>>738934893Anon, I...
>>738935063>>738935104>>738935151You will never see MTX in a From Software game as long as Hidetaka Miyazaki is the President there. Cope all you want, fat burger nigger.
>>738928396I don't believe you
>>738934578I know how they think and I know that Fromsoftware is a special case in those circles.
